“Had a wonderful time here today. If you are in the area, stop by.“
“This is another gem in the McMenamins line of fun, historical establishments - and by far my favorite! Been here many times over the years - actually even had my very first lobster roll EVER here (as a special item years ago) and it was amazing. The vibe is so quirky - you definitely feel like you’re walking the halls of your old elementary school - except there are bars and a lively restaurant and even a brewery haha!! The staff has always been super welcoming and friendly. The food at their main Courtyard Restaurant has always been great. On my last visit (July 2023), I had their chicken salad sandwich on croissant and it was SO GOOD!! Even their tater tots were perfectly cooked. And they even have some of the best iced tea I’ve had outside of the south! Their menu changes seasonally so it’s always a treat to try something new. After eating, leave time to explore - the grounds are just gorgeous and you’ll get lost in the nostalgia as you wander around the old school’s hallways. They have several bars - one is huge and has total steampunk vibes. They have a small hotel and a salt water pool - even the bathrooms are beautiful. I’d definitely like to stay here next time - but I imagine it can be a tad spooky at night haha! The school opened back in 1915 so it’s a historic building. The wall art is gorgeous and there are lots of info signs and historical pics scattered around. It’s in a good location in north Portland with plenty of parking and easy to find. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area!“
“Awesome cozy place to stop in for a drink or two after shopping Edelweiss deli across the street. Buy a wurst and potato salad come across the street and grab a cider or beer. Sit and enjoy lunch. Can’t get any better.“

“We loved this cider place the ciders we’re all really good“
“A good spot for a great selection of craft beer. We brought our own food, but there are several good looking food truck options to choose from.
Kid-friendliness: Outside picnic seating. Or inside the gap house. We had our small dog, and she was welcomed inside or out ?“

“If I could 2500 stars, I would! I am not normally a cider drinker, so my wife and I got a flight…wow oh wow! It was sooooo good, we got another flight and 2, 1/2 pints! The owner was EXTREMELY FRIENDLY and KNOWLEDGEABLE about the ciders! I highly recommend the peach and loganberry!
We also had the hummus and pita…chefs kiss! One of our FAVORITE places on our vacation to Portland!“

“I had always gone to the McMenamins restaurants in town at the coast and was really excited to check out this location! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was inviting. I got a salad and appetizer and was pleasantly surprised on how fresh the vegetables on the salad were. The hummus plate was really good too and even came with some pita bread that was warm and cozy in the middle. I met a friend in town and they wanted to share the experience with me and boy was I impressed!“

“Had an amazing time here with my fiance. The food was incredible and the ciders were equally as good. My one gripe is that there isn’t more non alcoholic cider. I don’t like alcohol, however I love the moonberries cider.
I was also bummed to find out that the cherry non alcoholic cider is a limited time thing. I’m glad that they sell it in cases because I just bought 3
